Under Pillow Block Tension Transducers
Models UPBH and SUPB
For those measurement applications with a high load (heavy tension) on
the substrate and idler rolls in the web path, the UPBH or SUPB are often the tension sensing tools to use. Please note that our new F Series Transducers
supersede the UPBH and SUPB style transducers providing the identical flat Under Pillow Block mounting in a design with enhanced features. The UPBH and SUPB transducers are
still available for customers who prefer them.
These heavy duty transducers are made of corrosion-resistant stainless steel and aluminum and are built
to last. The design eliminates the use of a hinge making it more reliable and stronger than other Under Pillow Block transducers
on the market.
UPBH transducers are used when the force direction is running predominantly
parallel to the transducer's top plate.
SUPB transducers are used when force direction is running mostly perpendicular
to the transducer's top plate.
If your application has a web speed over 1000 FPM,
please fill out a Critical Speed Analysis form
and fax it back to us.
UPB and SUPB Tension Transducer Capabilities
- Install under any standard pillow block bearing
- Low maintenance design - lifetime lubricated
- Corrosion-resistant stainless steel and aluminum
construction
- Load ratings from 100 -
5000 lbs.(450 - 22250N)
- Available in two frame sizes
- Entire length of top plate is clear for pillow
block
installation only along center line
- Use with live or dead shaft idlers
- Parallelogram construction (UPBH)
Note: Some industry professionals prefer the term 'load cell' to 'transducer' when refering to these tension-sensing devices, but at DFE we've adopted the more accurate description of tension transducer.
